Not famous at all, but a friend of mine disappeared for 11 years before revealing that he really was alive. Faked a drowning death by going out fishing in the Columbia on a nasty day and leaving the boat floating in the river. I attended his memorial service about a month after he disappeared and he was declared legally dead within that first year.

Note my posing - he was declared legally dead. Of course your friend, didn't stay dissapeared as long as Hoffa would have. He's been gone for decades.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, but it is hard.

A man alleged to be a key player in the decades-old disappearance of James Riddle Hoffa says he knows where the vanished Teamsters union leader is buried.

But Lord Lucan isn't a documented example of someone who chose to "drop under the radar," as there's no evidence that he disappeared voluntarily, or that he was alive after his disappearance.

The fact that I can't identify one just proves whoever it was did a great job!!

I always wondered why they would drag him from Detroit all the way to Giants Stadium?

The FBI -- working on information from an aging reputed mobster -- began digging in the waist-high grass of a Detroit-area field in yet another search for the remains of former Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa, according to a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the investigation.
